Flying Walls Hostel is a housing project designed by an architectural firm Studio Dhulia. The flying walls hostel project was commissioned to us by a company intending to provide their workers with a living space that promotes community living and wellbeing. The requirement divided the built mass into five equal levels with a simple floor plan and a site and services approach. As the inhabitants hail from different parts of the country, a friendly and open built form environment was necessary to promote a healthy social bond amongst everyone.

Casa 15 is a residence designed by the architectural firm AM-arqstudio. Even before the client understands the project goals, the distinct spaces begin taking place, sometimes as a word, other times as a perception of how a material feels when touched, and others, how the light makes you think. This narrative started building the mental walk-through glueing all the interior spaces. People’s fluidity through spaces, both horizontally and vertically, is connected by this core space, where the ceiling wood turns and becomes the floor finish of the level above.

Casa Serbia is a residence renovated by the architectural firm Grupo Culata Jovai. The assignment requires the integration of some spaces and the improvement of the general conditions of the building without modifying the typology. This is done very simply: removing the surplus constructions accumulated in previous renovations, favouring light and natural ventilation entry.

Villa Cerro Corá House is a residence renovated by the architectural firms ArquitecTava & Grupo Culata Jovái. We decided to provide the house with a gallery and build apartments for students on the top floor, all without compromising the old foundations as a separate house volume and with an independent structure. The top floor is floating above the old one, generating the gallery but in a way that allows the entrance of light to the ground floor from several angles and the optimization of convection ventilation.

Tai Tapu House is a residence designed by the architectural firm AW Architects. Upon arrival at the site, one winds through the countryside, and the first glimpse of the building is of a bold sculptural statement. The positioning of the building was carefully considered, and saw the forms nestled into the landform, sympathetically responding to the existing contours. The material palette emphasises this sculptural form – a slick black wedge with areas of relief cut into it – in a white—any areas where the landforms are retained, a plaster wall ramps into the broader landscape.

Vaswani Residence is a villa designed by the architectural firm Studio Motley. Our initial premise for the design was a simple one- that a desirable space is one where the outdoors can be experienced and enjoyed from within. So, we carved out garden areas and connected them, both visually and physically, to the house’s interiors. The proposal meant an open plan but with spaces and functions being demarcated with subtle flooring patterns and changes in the ceiling heights.

Rohingya Cultural Memory Centre is a community space designed by the architect Rizvi Hassan. The building process itself tried to make sure of that from the beginning. To create stories and care that everyone can hold on to. It doesn’t try to create certainty but the strength of being in love again after the worst nightmares. Being in the largest refugee camps, the current situation has added more uncertainty to their lifestyle, as it influences their culture & values. It is the ongoing events that will shape what they have.

Ventura Virzi Arquitectos designed House in Capilla using three systems to build the space: masonry, molding, and assembly. The design operation poses this border and places the house on the dividing edge, touching the two extreme points and stressing an empty space so that, by detaching itself from the fabric of the urbanization, it dialogues with the open field. The built limit allows us to perceive a continuous space as a blurred threshold that generates greater spatial fluidity.
